Phillies Fans Mock Braves With Tomahawk Chop During NLDS Game 3 Beatdown

Just when things seemed as if they couldn't get much worse for Braves fans, another moment of misery arrived in the bottom of the fifth inning in the Game 3 hiding.

Before the Phillies officially claimed a 2-1 lead in the NLDS series, Philadelphia fans made sure to rub it in, performing the famed Tomahawk Chop -- a staple celebration used by Atlanta fans.

Up 7-1 in the fifth, Phillies fans let out the distinct chant to go along with the move used by fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and Florida State Seminoles.

The FOX broadcast team could not have predicted the outcome of the game, nor did they expect a partisan crowd engaging in the chop.

"I thought we'd see a lot of red towels, [I} did not think we'd see the Tomahawk Chop," Jeff Francoeur, a former Brave himself, said.

Much like his adoring faithful in the crowd, Bryce Harper added more spice to the series, staring down Orlando Arcia on two massive home runs.

The potentially pivotal Game 4 - wherein the Phillies can clinch an NLCS berth - is once more at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:07 p.m. ET.
